2018 // 🖖🏽 Just a spiritual being having a human experience. I do me me... whatever and however that means. Primitive state for primitive thoughts and primitive feelings. This is only just the beginning. Relax with thyself. Let no other being come between you and your peace. Extremely grateful for all that I am and all that I have; I am so blessed. Anything I want, anything that I desire, anything that brings me to a higher good, I am ready to receive. Releasing any fear that blocks my way. My purpose is to be, to exist, and to experience life at its fullest. What you put out is what you get back. I’m everything and nothing at all. Don’t concern yourself with nonsense. To heal your body you have to heal your heart. My life is mine. Stop trying to find the world I’m in. Peace, love, and light! 💜✨

We like books and diamonds hold all of our secrets inside. Once pried open and cut is where we begin to reveal our true beauty. The time for loving yourself first is always in season. No page count too small, no carat size too large; know your worth. xx 💎📚💕🐻 *Hydrated and under construction.

Gaining a new sense of self can be a very overwhelming and a confusing sort. Think of it as a caterpillar shedding and evolving into a butterfly. Try to hold onto the true essence of self in the midst of what is now.

The unimaginable is in the air and I tend to listen to its truest intentions. It’s impossible to ignore the spirit of objects in the presence of a wandering mind. You tend to observe and dissect the very thing that things are and what you think of those things, what those things think of you and what you think of while you’re thinking of all this.

The mind is strange fruit. It grows, it eats, it’s eaten, and it decomposes into the world. The world is an enormously complex interrelated organism of which we will always fail to understand.

Ive given up on popular music, trendy looks and praised likable character and have given into true imaginable art. For that is where true emotions never lie.

I’ve always considered myself spiritual. In a time where I was lost there was the Christian idea of “God” and the unification of church. As I grew more into myself and planted my feet’s in more places than I was told I fell out of touch with the church and it’s ways while discovering more of who I was and could become. In no way do I dismiss the church because it can be a good thing. I believe in being free, tied to no denomination; unbound letting nothing dominate my own thinking.

Nowadays I keep myself at a distance because I love my self that much. “I found out how it feels not to be chained to anything, to any race, to any faith, to anybody, to any greed, to any hopes, to any.....anything; I know how it feels to be free.”

Take some time off to focus on you. Express yourself ! You can be whatever you want to be. Too many people are lost in this world for anyone to be degrading those individuals who have finally found themselves. Your opinion isn’t valid nor was it requested. Don’t lift someone up just to knock them down at your leisure. We all have feelings whether we like to show them or not.

Sending peace, love, and a stern “YOU are enough”, to those who are struggling with the defeat of the naysayers and abandoned self confidence while the media only projects perfection, shaming, trends, and contradicting actions. We are losing ourselves in the blur of the stars and it’s up to each and every one of us to be there for each other in such chaos and confusion.

I want to openly apologize for my own self doubt and my own insecurities that have managed to manifest and escape my being while becoming a projection of negativity amongst friends and loved ones. I truly do love every inch of myself. It’s tough being human let along being an artist. No one is perfect.

“I’ve never had to cheat to win I’d rather lose”. “I feel it’s really important to stand up for what you believe in, especially if it can affect the future and affect a lot of people in the future. That’s what it’s all about” - Serena Williams

In comparison to your past you’ve gotten thus far, use what you’ve learned to gain peace with where you are now. You are in control of your own space and the energy that you allow in it; choose wisely. Seek ways to maintain stability and true essence of self. It used to and still can be hard at times to even step out into the light of day but I choose to speak to that unwanted device and know that I too am a star. Never dim your light for anyone. Shine bright and please, if you can, help carry the light for those that may be in a time of reflection and in need of encouragement.

Bisous ! xx -Christopher
